Citizenship: Saudi Arabia

I was born in England and lived in Canada briefly before spending the majority of my schooling years in Saudi Arabia — to me, home is a combination of all three. Living in multiple diverse cities has instilled in me an appreciation for different cultures and a desire to explore the concepts of orientalism/occidentalism, global policy, and the East-West discourse. I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Middle Eastern Studies. At Columbia, I hope to continue studying global policymaking and research sustainable development policy in the Middle East, with the end goal of working in the UN or other IGOs.
